How to make Edit link on a Confirmation Page to work on an external form

Thank you. This is very helpful.

I've created the confirmation page, but when I click "Edit Entries," sometimes it takes me back to a new form rather than the form with the entries I just added. Am i missing part of the code somewhere?

The edit link feature uses a JotForm PHP page whose function is to retrieve previously submitted data and save changes made to it. This php page is not present on an embedded form, thus the edit link cannot be called from a page with an embedded form.

Many Thanks Neil, the support/response @ here is teriffic. Appreciate the time to break that down and the code samples.

That worked in @ 2 seconds. I'm all set now.

I think i was getting close and saw that embed code in some other posts. I didn't realize I could just use it on a 'blank' page as an 'embed' form. duh. I was burning up submissions testing it out LOL. Had to set-up another account! Great and only way to learn, trial and error.

Flexibilty of JOTFORM is amazing. Lookng to start using it more in some mobile applications!

Will do! It took me a few tests to realize i was burning up 3 submissions per test.

I wanted to use the "Save to Continue Forms" method and take in a name/email first on a seperate form and then direct to the order form. But that was burning up 5 submissions per test!

It's worth it tho, every form really needs to be editable. People make mistakes or chnage their minds. Esp on a mobile device/tablets with the small screens and fumbling fingers, they need the ability.Don't want to lose a sale over a submission.

Now to get generating some revenue so I can afford the 1,000,000 submission account, then no worries!
